The Shipping Forecast: done for now

Phew!  Extra borders are on and this can join the quilting queue. No more HSTs for me for a while, that's for sure.

Robin said...

Such a wonderful accomplishment. I love it. Do you have a design picked out for quilting?

Mego said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! GREAT job!

Mary Marcotte said...

What a beauty--all wrapped up in her HST glory! I'm curious to know how small are those tiniest HSTs? They are just too cute. Congrats on the flimsy finish!

Ann said...

I love the variety of HSTs and shades of blue. Of course, the lighthouses are fabulous as well as the wording (which I can only see when I zoom in.)

JanineMarie said...

Wow, give yourself a pat on the back! That was a lot of HSTs, but they are really effective. I like the subtleness of the borders. Is this what got you thinking about scale in a quilt?

Shelina (formerly known as Shasta) said...

Yay! It looks magnificent.

Mystic Quilter said...

Splendid Kaja!! The border of HSTs is perfect and you know I like that you have just the three lighthouses in this quilt, they really stand out. Not surprised you may take a break now from HSTs, but you have created a beautiful quilt.

Thumbs up!!

Monica said...

I love it, Kaja! All the repetition and different scales gives it quite a calm, rolling rhythm, interestingly. Another great finish!

Janie said...

Congratulations Kaja, great photo.
Lots of good contrast and movement in your quilt.
